Makes sense. If it comes down as a law rather than a company policy, we shouldn’t expect the union to stand up for us in any way. I still think unions should be fighting for workers rights in every theater, not just against companies. If we had an effective union they would be fighting this in the congress.

The question then is what happens when state and federal law conflicts? Vaccine mandates are currently illegal in the state of Texas.

I have new respect for you, Quad.
Flying is a form of freedom that takes money and more importantly attention to detail and study.
Damn, I want to buy/build and fly a Gyrocopter.
My wife has made me discarded that fantasy.
Union retirement health insurance is a bad joke, and expensive for the coverage.
Hit 65 and they tell you to kiss off.
Do a barrel roll over my land anytime.
You do know that in the West we have Post-65 coverage. But hey, the few who voted wanted people who wouldn't stand with Local 177 and the Western Region......

What's the point of your comment I read the supremacy clause that you posted. Talks about how federal laws supersede state laws. How is a mandate a law? Or maybe you're giving your speculation on how the supreme Court will rule?
In fact, mandates and laws are effectively the same thing. The only difference is how they are initiated: Mandates are created and enacted by an executive branch, such as a state governor, rather than through a lengthier legislative process that ends with the governor's signature and new, durable law.

Thank you for a respectful response.

So outside of Congress the executive branch in Acts laws through mandates. It is only the courts that can overrule such laws. So if the courts are a check on the presidential powers in this case, we can conclude that Congress doesn't want to go on record as far as the mandates are concerned. One term Biden is their Fall Guy.

You would agree that there needs to be a check on this type of law creation? If left unchecked we have essentially opened up the proverbial "can".

I can tell you firsthand as a resident of New York how unchecked authority-----"power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely"----in the form of the emergency powers Gov. Cuomo conferred upon himself at the start of the pandemic.

OSHA, like all federal agencies, was created and given power by Congress and signed by Nixon.
Federal agencies create administrative law by a process called rulemaking, This a a longer process requiring studies, proposed rulemaking, a public comment period, etc. Once published in the Federal Register the rule has the force of law. The entire green book of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations is an example of this rulemaking process into law.

Under certain circumstances, an agency may issue an Emergency Temporary Standard which is what OSHA did in regards to the vaccine or test+mask mandate. The question before the Supreme Court now is whether OSHA exceeded its authority and scope under the 1970 law in issuing the ETS and whether it should have gone the more cumbersome rulemaking route (Note the issue is not the constitutionality or any conspiracy theory 'Nuremberg code" being floated by more Questionable characters.). If the Court says it did, OSHA could go that route, or OSHA could issue a new ETS requiring more stringent PPE use and testing, OSHA or other agencies could use a patchwork of rules and authority to require most American workers to be vaccinated in a more targeted fashion (such as the USDA could require meatpackers to be vaccinated), Congress could also widen the scope and more specifically and clearly authorize such powers in the 1970 law.. Even if it fails there, Cal-OSHA could still enforce their own mandate as they have a carve-out in the 1970 law, The SCOTUS could just take their sweet time issuing a ruling, allowing the mandate to have its effect while restricting Executive power later. I'm leaning towards that route given that they declined to issue a stay and have refused to block other mask and vaccine mandates. Court watchers feel the comments made by the Justices signal they may strike it down. A decision could come any day, in a week or two, or they could wait until May/June when they issue most decisions from a term.

And you agree with the authority president Nixon created during his term? When the phase 3 trials are finished in 2024 maybe then the government will have a legal and moral leg to stand on.

Nobody ELECTED OSHA. They are out of the control of the people right now. And guess what? When they force you to get vaccinated you’re vaccinated all day long. Not just at work. They’re out of their jurisdiction here.

Jacobson vs the state of Massachusetts. State successfully argued for state vaccine mandate.
